With five games played, where do you think we will finish the season?

[Izzy]

Fook knows. I haven't got a clue what to predict this season really. This team just continues to surprise and deliver so I wouldn't put anything past them. But looking at the competition, how much money they've spent and the quality managers they've all got, top 6 would be a remarkable effort by us I'd say.

To dream the dream...part II   .Claudio gave us the fans our duties...now carry on..!!

 

Top 3, until mathmatically impossible. 3 cups up for grabs...

These foxes are not to be denied,

bloodhounds can always chase

then we the fearless turn-about face

history will show our endeavours will be gloryfied.

 

Its not a few months ago...

 

I dreamed a dream in the season gone by

When hope was high

and life was worth living

I dreamed this feeling would never die

We dreamed that claudio would come and be giving

Then I was young and unafraid

and dreams were made and used some were wasted

There was no ransom to be paid

On the terraces no songs of joy left unsung

No beer or wine untasted....

 

Now the wuzzies come at night

With their posts soft as thunder

as they tear one hopes and hearts apart

As they turn your dreams to shame...

 

Les Miserable are still playing their silly game..

What the fudge?

7/8th

 

I think we are good enough to do better than that but I think we're going to struggle to be as consistent as we were last season. 

It is early still, but I think it looks like City, Chelsea and Liverpool will all be better than last season. Everton look strong so could push for europe and of course United, Spurs and Arsenal will be thereabouts too.

[desertfox2]

5th/6th got a feeling Everton will finish above us which is a kick in the nuts with Walsh going there.

My thoughts exactly. Either had a few too many or used Google translate.

[HighPeakFox]

2nd was my spontaneous reaction.

[Strokes]

Top 17.

[Brooksy]

6th and we'll win the Champions League

[tsintskaro]

I agree,that those 5(+ bruge) games has shown that leicester is far better than average and below average teams(okay i know - Hull,but it had its own excuses)

Swansea,Burnley and Bruge lost because Leicester is more classy team

4-4-2 still works very good against clubs like these

so i think they will get almost maximum points from Sunderland,Stock,boro and etc

What about top clubs,tbh Leicester was better then Arsenal and i am sure Claudio has done thinking and will not lose so poorly like he did against Liverpool

There is a good chance to get in europe competitions in next season 

[Emmet]

I think the championship is still available if we keep our games at home with no defeat, the real start is from Burnley and I hope Man U too

[sk3since03]

8th

 

we're gonna be tough to beat at home again this season

Wronnnnng

[treer]

we will finish in the top 5, behind man city, and  battling with lpool arsenal spurs utd for 2nd

[crazyleicester]

I have said 7th or 8th from the get go and I cant see us finishing any lower than 8th. We could gate-crash the places above but I think the African Nations is going to leave a big dent in our players. Its not just the dates that the games are on, its the having to leave early for preparations and then if our players end up in the latter stages its the recovery period for them when they get back. Those tourneys can be a real head fudge with little to do in-between games and its not like being back home where 4 hours of training and they can get back to their creature comforts. Still, Im forever the optimist and hope the sides above do a Man Utd and self destruct over the next few months!

[Clever Fox]

With the signing of Slimani we have a lot more options attacking wise so I expect us to finish top 6 but maybe 5th or 6th. I no longer fear the big teams with the exception of Man city.

We are getting better and another Midfielder in January will help.

[Raj]

Be happy with 7-10th realistically.

ManC,ManU,Chelsea,Arsenal,Liverpool,Everton/Spurs- in that sort of order then us?

Think the only reason cos of the Champions League having an influence.

Agree..African nations Might well decide our fate this season.Other top teams have far bigger Quality  squads that could see them

balance that period out better than City.One could argue for some Rotation, so fringe players can get experience and find some rhythm.

Difficult but not beyond us after last season....

[STUHILL]

Would like top 6 but I think 7th. I fancy us to get to the knockout stages of the Champions League and have a decent FA cup run though, so will be a decent season hopefully.

 

[crazyleicester]

I suppose Januarys transfer deals may have something to do with our progression. After years of buying filth from Scotland or low end players, it feels that we have gone full circle and I wouldnt be surprised if we were among the top 3 or 4 spenders in the country in January. We didnt get our CB of defensive midfielder and I get the feeling if we have to go for it that we will not hesitate in spending serious money (again)

Agreed.  The club has money from the previous two seasons of EPL payments and TV rights payments, and the sale of various players (Kante, Kramaric, maybe others?).  That in addition to extremely wealthy owners, although I am not sure of the rules on owners injecting money directly into a team.  I know of the term 'Financial Fair Play,' but I really don't know any details.

 

Obviously I don't know the club's balance sheet, but I imagine (hope?) they have the money to buy a couple of quality players (RB, CB IMHO).

[China Black]

CHAMPIONS!!!

[adejo92]

I am going to take a punt at 7th this season. A lot of the big guns have actually turned up this season thus far. Still, with 7th, i would be very happy.

[Wymsey]

More appropriate to ask after 25 games imo.
